Re: I'm a failure

I failed by 2 points and just took the 3 hr today. They say do not eat after midnight the night before. I stayed away from sugary drinks, iced tea a d soda for a few days before. And I tried to watch my carb intake.

It's an annoying 3 hrs. Don't know if you know but they took my blood 4 times. I had to pee in a cup first thing. Then they took blood. Drank the nasty stuff. They set a timer for 1 hr, took blood then 1 hr took blood then the 3 rd hour and took blood. It's was a long morning, hungry, bored morning for me. Haha. I ran out of there after the 3 rd draw haha.

I didn't get results yet. Hoping to soon. Good luck.

Being something to read or do.

I failed by 3 points as well when I was pregnant with dd. I asked the same question and was told not to change my diet bc it could effect the test and you want it to be accurate. If you only failed by 3 points you will most likely pass the 3 hour. I did. I do remember bring starving and a little light headed when it was over so leAve a bottle of water and something to eat afterwards in your car. Good luck !

I'm a failure

I failed the one hour by 35 points and I passed every single hour of the 3 hour test without any problem. I ate exactly as I normally would b/c just as my doctor stated, I wouldn't want to disguise any blood sugar issue by altering my normal diet.

Failing by only 1 point is a pretty good indication that you will pass the 3 hour test. There's no special diet aside from fasting - and anyway, trying to "trick" the test isn't worth it since you want it to be accurate to how your body handles sugar.

This is what I thought about it too. With something so potentially serious, why would you want to give possibly false results? Not that I'm saying anyone wants to "fool" the test but I just logically thought you'd want to eat how you normally do, kwim? I would ask your doctor what they recommend before you go. If you only failed by one point then hopefully the 3 hour will go better. Good luck!
